City Simulators, such as SimCity and Cities: Skylines are very popular, both among gamers and the general public. But these are just games: they don't accurately model real cities, and that can result in misleading assumptions about what a city is, and how it functions.Cities by Diana: https://www.youtube.com/@CitiesByDianaNot Just Bikes: https://nebula.tv/notjustbikesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Shawn's passion for creating data models that intertwine key performance, risk, and behavioral indicators offers a holistic approach to understanding and improving urban living.Our conversation meanders through various aspects of smart city development, touching upon the integration of IoT in daily life, the transformation of urban spaces, and the importance of collaboration between government and private entities. We explore how these developments not only reshape our physical environments but also have profound implications on social dynamics and individual well-being.As we wrap up, the discussion transcends the technicalities, inviting listeners to contemplate the broader implications of these advancements on society. The episode is a testament to our unending quest to harmonize technology with humanity, and a reminder that the future of smart cities lies not just in their technological prowess, but in their ability to enhance human experience.

As we head into a short break during Thanksgiving week, dean Stuart Shapiro interviews Juan Ayala, a professor in the school's world-ranked urban planning program. Their discussion begins with the distinctions between architecture and urban design, emphasizing the historical separation of individual building design and broader urban landscape planning. Ayala highlights the crucial role of urban designers as bridges between architects and planners, illustrating how comprehensive plans, driven by design research and guided by urban designers, can positively impact communities. He also talks about the evolving nature of urban design, incorporating technology, STEM, and visualization to enhance accessibility, inclusivity, and public engagement in the design process. Ayala also advocates for the use of digital technology to illustrate complex information and suggests a resurgence of visual technology for community participation with a greater focus at the government level. He concludes with a discussion of his teaching approach, where he emphasizes incremental learning, conceptual planning, and visualization exercises in his urban design courses to empower students to make informed decisions and find their unique approaches to the field. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ejbtalks/message

On this episode in our housing mini-series Professor Nicole Gurran talks about reimagining the role of urban planning in creating sustainable and inclusive communities.Professor Gurran notes that there is no substitute for housing, and unless there is some better planning now, the crisis we are facing will only escalate. She also adds that the language used around housing is often misleading, with housing needs driven by an increase in population. In contrast, housing demand is how much people are willing to pay for properties themselves. --- Nicole Gurran is Professor of Urban and Regional Planning and Director of the Henry Halloran Research Trust at the University of Sydney. Nicole has authored and co-authored numerous publications and books on urban policy, housing, sustainability and planning. Her research focuses on comparative urban planning systems and approaches to housing and ecological sustainability. Sharon Bessell is a Professor of Public Policy and Director of both the Children's Policy Centre and the Poverty and Inequality Research Centre at ANU Crawford School of Public Policy.

The two explore the core principal behind how urban planning is approached in the city, as Shrinkhala's own experiences working in the field. They evaluate the cities priorities as exemplified by its recent urban planning projects, and end with an exploration on potentials and possibilities.

America has Traffic Engineers. The Netherlands has Transportation Engineers. One is concerned with moving as many cars as possible, the other builds transportation systems. In this podcast, I'm joined by Steffen Berr, an American Traffic Engineer turned Transportation Engineer who now lives in the Netherlands. We discuss the myopic approach taken by Traffic Engineers in America, and how it ultimately ruins cities.Steffen has a great article that is worth reading:https://nextcity.org/urbanist-news/america-has-no-transportation-engineersStrong Towns Conversation with an Engineer: https://youtu.be/P9BUyWVg1xIWonderland Road: https://youtu.be/Ds-v2-qyCc8Not Just Bikes: https://nebula.tv/notjustbikesBuild the Lanes: https://www.youtube.com/@buildthelanesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
